Re: TDIH classic 74 |
Sometimes the comments can be just as amusing as the show:
"Reviewer:jerlouvis - - May 20, 2012
Subject: Little sense
Explaining digital compression to Charlie Miller seems to be the epitome of little sense,commenting on the quality of one these transfers with no knowledge of the source material and what went into the final product is just ignorant.

only one more??? RAPTUROUS
Reviewer:Little Sense - - May 19, 2011
Subject: What type of compression?
This sounds overly compressed to me. The drums are pumping like too much digital compression was applied....makes it hard to listen to. I've noticed this on quite a few of the older SBD's...go real easy on the compression, it is just supposed to be a very light effect unless you are trying for some wild Beatles like studio effects.
Great Music for sure..."
I think jerlouvis nails it when he points out the similarities between Little Sense's name and the quality of his review.
What a maroon!! Anyone can tell that Miller fucked up the accordion on this recording, not the drums. Why he's compressed the squeezebox so far, you can't even hear it.

Re: TDIH classic 74 |
Thanks for the reminder! Absolutely wonderful show. The Truckin jam is an amazing multi-headed beast ... maybe it could even be called a Nobody's Fault Mind Left Body jam. At least that's how I hear it. (Not equally, but I hear both ...)

Re: TDIH classic 74 |
A great show and perhaps Donna's worst moment on stage. What she does at the end of Scarlet can only be described as unholy (and I'm not even religious!).

Re: TDIH classic 74 |
One of my top 10 favorites and my all time favorite China/Rider. Better than the Feb 74 that everyone else prefers at least imo. Absolutely flawless. And count me as one of only what appears to be five people who loves Money Money. Will never understand why people hate that song so much.

Re: TDIH classic 74 |
Without a doubt, the finest China>Rider ever performed!
The rest ain't too bad either ;)

Re: TDIH classic 74 |
Indeed, one of the very best of all time, this one is just begging for official release!
A phenomenal China/Rider transition and one of the best ever performances of Truckin'
Although Charlie has done a great job correcting the pitch issues, there is plenty of room for improvement in sound quality. Would have been a perfect for Dave's Picks and preferable to 7/31/74...

Re: TDIH classic 74 |
This is a gem. I rarely take the time to write detailed reviews of shows, but this was one where i wanted to memorialize all the goodness (see other C. Miller version of same night).
This was an amped up night that almost feels like a misplaced '77 show oozing out of the tail end of the '73/'74 honey run. The china->rider is good but 2nd set steals the night, kicking off with almost uncontroled power (feels like garcia has issues slowing the band down for ship of fools). The WRS jam is beefy but the trucking jam is epic in all senses of the word, delivering a unique but bery nice MLB jam. There's a pause at the end and then harmonious launch into the set close that leaves you smiling--the boys spoke in unison this night through music that stops only your breath. ; )
